Why "Whatever You Want" Keeps You Single
She says the movie looks dumb; you suddenly agree. She tests you with a little attitude; you apologize for nothing.
You think you're being easy to get along with. She reads something else entirely: a man with no edges. Nothing to hold on to. No friction, no tension, no reason to wonder what he really thinks.
The "22 Rules" taught me to push back — playfully, calmly, without needing her approval. Strange things happened after that.
An interesting read...

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"
When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.
Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.
Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.
The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

See that's why I think that article is just a big bunch of BS. So what if the man decided not to go through with it. That's just one instance. If more women tried that I honestly think the results wouldn't be much more different from what already happens.

I agree with the poster there named "Lurker".
The point being that its men that don't really know what we want.
LOL @ that.
Its the other way around sweeties.
I also think the entire story was just made up by some feminist trying to prove a point.Lurker said:

A similar story happened to my parents shortly after I left home. Mum's reactions were similar to that woman and it saved the marriage and my family. Dad was just freaking out (I won't get into details, but it was an identity crisis) and that lasted for 4-5 months. It was nearly a decade ago and since then, he's been very thankful that Mum did what she did, and so have I.
Mum didn't jump to conclusions. She did her research - books, Dad's best friends, my Natural/playa uncles (who know male/female dynamics just as well as any on this forum) - before taking actions.
That's what a great wife - and a quality woman - does: she supports you through your rough time and acts as a mirror to let you see yourself in your best moments, remind you of who you are and let you gain your confidence back. She knows when you're not being yourself and gives you time & space to find that Man inside again.
Now I know why some of you don't believe that quality women exist. You don't comprehend what a quality woman is. Reading comprehension is also not your strength either. For example:
This is not a rare story either. If you ask the older, happily married couples of previous generations, you know the ones who've been together 50 years and are still going strong, they will tell you that they've had to work through similar times in their marriage (sometimes it's the man putting up with the woman's hard time, sometimes it's the other way around). It's not always smooth sailing.
Too bad in our times, this wisdom (particularly wife putting up with husband like what the woman in the article did) has been killed by feminism & the modern It's-All-About-Me culture.

She was only talking about her own marriage and sharing her personal experience. She's giving one successful solution to a serious marital / relationship problem. That's all she's saying. She only said "my husband" and never "men". It is YOU who are making the false generalisation and extracting a point that she did not make, because it suits your bias.KontrollerX said:
